Popular Health Services

Goals

To identify the most popular healthcare companies that were founded in the past 5-7 years in the developing market.

Early Findings

Jio Health

Jio Health started as a US-based venture which later relocated to Vietnam in 2014 after its founders saw the opportunity to offer tech-driven healthcare solutions to people in Southeast Asia.

It provides on-demand healthcare services including primary care, chronic disease management, pediatrics and ancillary care services. Jio Health currently operates through a mobile app (iOS and Android) with a physical facility in Saigon.

The company serves its patients from the initial diagnosis to recovery. Patients are able to input their symptoms into the app and book an appointment with a doctor, and if the diagnosis is straightforward, the prescribed drugs will be delivered to the patient. If further testing on-site or a hospital visit is required, travel arrangements can also be arranged via the app. In addition, preventive health measures are taken with the help of artificial intelligence.

In 2019, the company had raised $5 million in series A funding led by VC fund Monk Hill’s Ventures. During the same year, Jio Health was honored by the Tin & Dung program for being among the 100 products and services that are trusted and appreciated by consumers in Vietnam.
